Raising his hand to wipe the tears from his daughter's face, Master Qin looked at Wu Hongjing with a hint of resentment and said, "Hongjing! Didn't I tell you not to tell Yalan? The matter has been resolved. Telling her will only make her worry for nothing!"
Wu Hongjing was a little embarrassed, but did not explain.
Finally, Qin Yalan gave him a look of annoyance before explaining to her father, "He was tight-lipped and didn't tell me anything. I overheard her discussing with her mother-in-law that they should bring more people to patronize the Guilinggao business to reduce the burden on Dad."

Qin Yalan originally thought that since it was a rare trip back home, she would stay at her mother's house for one night and spend more time with her father, but Master Qin insisted that she put the overall situation first and not be willful.
He also asked the servants to pack up the remaining tortoise jelly for them to take back to their mother-in-law and others.
